PORTLAND, Ore.(AP) -- Quarterback Cameron Higgins and receiver Tim
Toone saved Weber State from an embarrassing second-half
meltdown as the two connected for a 38-yard touchdown pass with
17 seconds remaining to rally the Wildcats to a 36-29 Big Sky
victory over Portland State on Saturday.

Weber State (2-2, 2-0) cruised through the first two-plus
quarters and built a 28-10 lead thanks in part to the passing of
Higgins, who finished 31 of 47 for 410 yards and four
touchdowns.

Toone caught eight passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns.

The Vikings (1-3, 0-2) began their comeback late in the third
when Aaron Woods returned a kickoff 97 yards for a score,
pulling Portland State to within 28-17. An interception return
for a touchdown by DeShawn Shead and a 15-yard scoring pass from
Drew Hubel to Woods with 1:15 remaining put the Vikings ahead
29-28.
